Reaching a mature height of 4 to 6 feet and a width of about 4 feet, it's a perfect choice for those seeking continuous color and texture in their landscapes.
The hallmark of Austin Pretty Limits is its nonstop blooming cycle. This shrub delights with clusters of bright magenta flowers that bloom on both old and new wood, ensuring a dazzling display throughout spring, summer, autumn, and even winter. These vibrant blossoms stand out beautifully against the plant's clean, green foliage, which remains full and lush year-round, providing excellent coverage and visual appeal.

Growing Nerium Austin Pretty Limits is a breeze. It thrives in Zones 8-11, preferring sunny locations with average, well-drained soil. This hardy shrub is incredibly resilient, tolerating drought, heat, and salt, making it ideal for challenging garden conditions.

Minimal maintenance is required to keep this oleander looking its best. It typically doesn't need much pruning, but if shaping or size control is desired, pruning should be done carefully. Be sure to wear gloves, as the plant's white sap can irritate the skin and is toxic. Keep pets and children away from the freshly pruned areas until the sap dries completely.
